People,
A while ago I posted a note on the Devise forum asking if anyone was
going to build an RPM for Fedora but didn't get any responses at all
- no-one even viewed the post! What happens with Gems in this
category? Am I supposed to do anything? Add a request somewhere?
This will get probably the same attention as the post on Devise forum.
Sorry.
Use the Gem instead of an RPM while I wait for someone to do the work
for creating the RPM?
This is definitely option.
The devise gem is on the TODO list of the packaging process about
GitLab. I was planning to get it done this week. I see that one of its
dependencies (orm_adapter) is not yet packaged for Fedora so, you'll
have to package it too. If you could wait one day or two that's fine
otherwise this is a nice chance to start and learn about the packaging
process :)
Should I bite the bullet and see how to produce the RPM myself?
And this is the best possibility. You can start here [1] and I'll be
happy to sponsor you.
OK, I bit the bullet - after having to sort out a problem with
installing the dev tools on F18, I got gem2rpm to produce the spec file
for devise and following the instructions at:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package
produced a lot of stuff but no SRPMS or RPMS - the issue seems to be:
error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
/usr/share/gems/gems/devise-2.2.4/.gitignore
/usr/share/gems/gems/devise-2.2.4/.travis.yml
/usr/share/gems/gems/devise-2.2.4/.yardopts
/usr/share/gems/gems/devise-2.2.4/CHANGELOG.rdoc
/usr/share/gems/gems/devise-2.2.4/CONTRIBUTING.md
/usr/share/gems/gems/devise-2.2.4/Gemfile
/usr/share/gems/gems/devise-2.2.4/Gemfile.lock
/usr/share/gems/gems/devise-2.2.4/MIT-LICENSE
/usr/share/gems/gems/devise-2.2.4/README.md
/usr/share/gems/gems/devise-2.2.4/Rakefile
/usr/share/gems/gems/devise-2.2.4/app/controllers/devise/confirmations_controller.rb
Now, running gem2rpm you have a nice template to start working on, but
it needs further tinkering to get it working.
Here's what I have learned these past months.
After the %prep, %build, %install and %check macros there is one called
%files. According to the rpm-guide [0], the %files list indicates to RPM
which files on the build system are to be packaged.
On the other hand, the section `%files doc` denotes what the subpackage
-doc will include as well. In there you can put everything the gem owns
except for the lib/ dir and the LICENSE l(icense should always be
declared in `%files` macro). But again that is not a strict rule and is
under the packager's discretion if he wants to include files like the
Rakefile/Gemfile. These should not be marked as documentation files (%doc).
So, in your case these sections would be like:
----------
%files
%dir %{gem_instdir}
%{gem_libdir}
%{gem_spec}
%doc %{gem_instdir}/MIT-LICENSE
%exclude %{gem_cache}
%exclude %{gem_instdir}/.*
%files doc
%doc %{gem_docdir}
%doc %{gem_instdir}/CHANGELOG.rdoc
%doc %{gem_instdir}/CONTRIBUTING.md
%doc %{gem_instdir}/README.md
%{gem_instdir}/Rakefile
%{gem_instdir}/Gemfile
%{gem_instdir}/Gemfile.lock
%{gem_instdir}/gemfiles/
%{gem_instdir}/test/
%{gem_instdir}/%{gem_name}.gemspec
----------
But again, maybe devise should be packaged as an app[1] since it
contains an app folder. Unfortunately I haven't packaged an app before
to know how to proceed from here. Someone with greater experience care
to elaborate on that?
